The three buildings are associated with the development of the Courthouse Hill residential neighborhood.  Constructed primarily of red brick, the buildings reflect popular architectural styles of the period. The 1872 Gothic style church was built on land donated by W.A.H. Loveland.  A bell tower and two additions were completed in 1898, and the church was expanded again in 1947. 

The Baldwin Locomotive Works in Philadelphia built Locomotive No. 191 in 1880.  It served the DSP&P and its successors for 22 years before being sold to a lumber company in Wisconsin. 

Designed by the Denver & Salt Lake Railway, and manufactured with recycled materials in its Denver shops, the caboose illustrates the cost saving efforts employed by the railroad to maintain profitable service during the Great Depression. 

Built in 1890, No. 683 was one of the early locomotives acquired by the D&RGW when converting its mainline to standard gauge.

D&RGW Locomotive No. 491 is locally significant from 1928 until 1963 for its rail service and association with the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad.

Built in 1881, the locomotive served 66 years with the D&RGW before coming to the Colorado Railroad Museum in July 1958.  It operated on the D&RGW, the Rio Grande Southern, and the Colorado and Southern at various times during its service.

Built in 1937, by the Davenport Locomotive Works in Iowa, Locomotive No. 50 served in Oregon until purchased by the D&RGW in 1963 and moved to Durango where it was used as a switcher until 1970.  It is the only narrow gauge diesel locomotive ever owned by the D&RGW.

Built by Jackson and Sharp, Coach No. 280 was placed in use by the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad in 1881.  Its service ended with the Denver & Rio Grande Western on the Durango to Silverton route in 1951. 

Built in 1886, Caboose No. 0578 ran in freight service over all of the Rio Grande’s narrow gauge network until its retirement in 1951.  It is a rare surviving example of a Class 2 Rio Grande caboose.

Narrow gauge caboose No. 49 was built by the Denver & Rio Grande Railway in 1881.  The four-wheeled caboose served the railroad for fifty-seven years before being retired in October 1938.  It was recently restored to its 1880s appearance.
